SOLUTIONS THROUGH MICROBLASTING
The Advanced Lathe is Performance Driven
Flexible to Meet a Wide Range of Applications
The LA3250 Advanced Lathe is designed for the steady
processing of precision parts in a production environment.
Using up to four axes of motion and unique tooling,
the Advanced Lathe is able to process a wide range
of applications. It is easy to use: the operator simply selects
from several preset programs, loads the parts and starts
the process. Safety features built into the system protect
against the accidental improper loading of parts, mismatch
of programs or tooling, and other errors. As needs change,
additional programs can be easily developed through
the user interface or a remote computer using G-code.
Lathe configurations have been developed for a wide range of
processes. Our expert engineers have designed lathe systems
to meet the exacting standards of the medical, aerospace,
electronics, automotive, and semiconductor industries.
Precision and Consistency
• XZ assembly provides a more rigid base for
tooling attachment and parts handling
• Tail-stock options for spindle
• Closed-loop encoder feedback on stepper motors
• Datum plate accommodates spindle or
flat base plate options
Refined User Interface
• Bright, easy-to-read touch screen display
• Programming in industry-standard G-code
• Multiple methods to track data
• Supports foreign language commands
Lean
• Fast loading and unloading of parts
• Integrated into corporate network
• Quick change between different types of parts
Modular Design
• Up to four axes of motion
• Capable of handling complex part geometries
• Quick disconnect tooling and vacuum chuck
• Optional bar code reader on network integration
• Tooling and part holding fixtures
Custom Blast Heads
• Engineering OD adjustable head
• Fixed production blast head
• Serializer head with PowderGate® valve
• Nozzle rail
Multiple Blaster Options
The Advanced Lathe has been engineered to operate
with any Comco micro-abrasive blaster. The AccuFlo®
model is typically used for single nozzle applications.
For most applications requiring multiple nozzles,
we recommend the PowerFlo® model. A modified
PowerFlo® equipped with a precision electronic regulator
enables the Advanced Lathe to accurately control
the blast pressure defined in the program.
The lathe can adjust the blast pressure during a cycle,
allowing it to perform multiple operations during
the same blast routine. In addition to safeguards in
the blasting program, this setup also prevents operator
interference with the pressure adjustment.

Engineered for
Harsh Abrasive Environments
Working with micron-sized abrasives presents unique
challenges in automation. The fine abrasive media
can easily enter mechanical parts that are not
properly protected.
Over the past 40 years Comco has developed
the skills required to operate moving parts
in an abrasive environment, maintaining precision
and accuracy for production operations.
Robust Design
• Abrasive resistant components sealed,
pressure purged
• Electronics pressure sealed in separate chamber
from blasting area
• Downdraft airflow limits overhead slide’s exposure
